If(Match) not working correctly

[cbaqir]

I am trying to use this as a dimension but I am getting some duplicates where it shows both Project and Non-Project and not sure why:

=if(match(COM_CAT,'ERC - Project'),'Project','Non-Project') 

I also tried is in the script but same issue:   if(wildMatch("COMMITTEE_CAT",'ERC - Project')>0,'Project','Non-Project') as PROJECT

For this ticket, I would only expect Project since it did hit the ERC - Project status.

Maybe use a mapping load for ID where COM_CAT='ERC - Project' and an applymap('YourMap',ID,'Non-Project') as Project

[stigchel]

Something like

Project:

Mapping load DEFECT_ID,'Project' as To From Source where COMMITTEE_CAT='ERC - Project'

Load DEFECT_ID,Applymap('Project', DEFECT_ID,'Non-Project') as Project from Source

Do you have to use match?

Since there is only one string in your condition you could just do

if(COM_CAT = 'ERC - Project','Project','Non-Project') 

perhaps you need to use trim(COM_CAT) there may be empty spaces around the text string.

May be try like

=if( COMMITTEE_CAT = 'ERC - Project' , 'Project', 'Non-Project')

[cbaqir]

I used an alias for COMMITTEE_CAT called COM_CAT

[cbaqir]

That's what I tried originally but it didn't work either.

[vishsaggi]

Are you using this in expression or in the script. Can you share some sample file to look into?

=if(COM_CAT='ERC - Project','Project','Non-Project')

‘I used an alias for COMMITTEE_CAT called COM_CAT’

Are you implementing the conditional statement in the same load statement as the alias is being created? In that case you would have to use the original name as the Alias is not applied in the load statement, or use a preload statement.
